South Korea has declared a national mourning period until January 4th following the tragic crash of a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 on December 29. The disaster, which killed 179 people, has left the nation in mourning. A memorial was held on December 30 to honor the victims.
On Sunday, December 29th, a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 crashed at Muan International Airport, resulting in the deadliest aviation disaster in South Korean history. The plane, which was carrying 175 passengers and six crew members, belly-landed and skidded off the runway, crashing into a wall and erupting into a fireball. Tragically, 179 people lost their lives, with only two crew members surviving the disaster.
Following the crash, South Korea's acting President, Choi Sang-mok, declared a national mourning period, which will last until January 4th. On Monday, December 30th, people gathered at a memorial service to honor the victims of the tragedy.
Authorities in South Korea have launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, with early speculation suggesting a possible bird strike. The plane’s collision with the ground and subsequent explosion led to the devastating loss of life.
